Personally, I don't care about how my sites look in IE5 because like you said it, it's too old to worry about. As long as it looks good in IE6 and up, that's fine.

And no, IE6 does like shorthands... I use them all the time and it doesn't complain about it; so yes, I'd recommend you to use shorthands.

HTH

Do you recommend that I go shorthand on all my styles? I read somewhere that IE6 didn't like it, so that's why I went through and separated them. I prefer shorthand though, as it's much easier to enter.

I guess I'll just try the shorthand and see what happens. ;)

That's just too much. I'd recommend you to use the shorthand instead (which I defined in my suggestion above:

border-right: solid 25px #d3e6ef;
border-left: solid 25px #d3e6ef;

These changes should make your blog look good in IE6 as well.

HTH.

PS what was "messing" everything up in IE6 were the min-width and max-width properties.
IE's fault, of course.

I separated the properties into separate statements, which I read was more compatible with IE6. I did get IE6 to display the header and menu, but there's still nothing in the body of the page.

BTW, last time I checked your blog in IE6, the header was not visible, not it is... however, I cannot see the body of your blog.
